Robert, While I totally agree with your diatribe about the fact that Jugoslavia has melted down, I cannot help but smile from the irony. As a lad growing up my household consisted of a father whose both parents immigrated from "Croatia," although his father, my grandfather, to the day of his death insisted he was neither Yugoslav nor Croatian, but Austrian, as the country he fled was Austria-Hungary. My mother's mother came from what is now Croatia and her father was a Bosnian Serb. We were never allowed to refer to ourselves as Croatian in our home. Rather it was pounded into us that we were "Americans of Yugoslav decent." His analogy was, We are "Americans, not Pennsylvanians." He did concede however, that we could refer to ourselves as Dalmatians. I never figured that one out - not Croatian but Dalmatian. My how history changes our perspective. Sretan Bozic i Nova Godina to you too, and to all on the list.
